Hi Cindy,
I believe all these different "lists" need to be consolidated. Right now,
this important information is scattered all over the place. The
difficulties you and others who scan books encounter points this problem out
quite clearly.

Subject: [bksvol-discuss] Small Favor
I checked the collection to see if it was a HarperCollins donation but see
instead that it was a NY Times addition to the collection. Which means, I
suppose that in addition to checking the being-scanned list, and the
collection, and the books-in-process list, one should check the monthly NY
Times list that Carrie posts before scanning. I've downloaded a copy of
May's if anybody needs that info and didn't save it when she posted. I don't
think she remembered to post the April list, though--probably too excited
about the impending birth. smile
I guess it's impossible to avoid duplicated work entirely, but we can try.
I'll add the NY Times books to the being-scanned list. That will make one
less list for you to have to look at. As soon as I get it done this
afternoon, I'll post it, and then if there are more changes I'll post a new
list int he wee hours of the morning, as usual. smile
